    Tesla, Mercedes, Good Fellas, the Space Shuttle, and other Topics

    I would have a hard time making that comparison to the penny you have made after owning the Tesla's. We have put on more miles then I expected since I find excuses to drive the Tesla.

    Tesla, Mercedes, Good Fellas, the Space Shuttle, and other Topics

    It's still not something that's included with leasing the vehicle they just added the cost into your monthly payment. This would've covered some of the cost of installing the wall connector. Additionally SCE give you $1000.00 if you lease/purchase a vehicle for more then 30 months. Quite a few...

    If you can inexpensively upgrade one of the plugs to a 120V 20 amp that would help.

    Tesla, Mercedes, Good Fellas, the Space Shuttle, and other Topics

    Since you don't actually own the car and haven't had a good amount of time driving one I don't see how you can make a comparison. One major thing you left out is the great stereo and autopilot which are included. Quite a few things are included on Tesla vehicles and either extra or not...

    Can you buy too much Solar?

    How large is your house? Can all of the panels produce 90%-100% all day based on location? 10k seems like quite a bit with 2 Powerwalls.

    Road/wind noise

    I agree I was on a road trip recently and found a very smooth piece of asphalt. The car was very quiet and wind noise wasn’t an issue.

    Will sentry mode sound alarm if wheels are being stolen?

    Looking at the listings for sale even the stock 18's are over $500.00 then add sensors and tires. They would have some value for a thief. I wish Tesla would add an adjustable shock sensor to the vehicle. It would at least set off the alarm and alert you on the phone application someone is...

    About to pull the trigger, any known/rumored changes in the 3 upcoming?

    I had an older Model S before my current M3P. The only thing I miss was the ability to pop the frunk or power hatch with the FOB especially the hatch. Otherwise the Bluetooth interface works great and it's nice not having have another fob on my keychain.

    About to pull the trigger, any known/rumored changes in the 3 upcoming?

    I've had a couple of the 300ZX twin turbo cars years ago. Once you take delivery of your P3 you will forgot all about the Z. The great thing about the M3P is it's quiet and no one hears the acceleration like a ICE car. However it also works against you because you loose the typical perception on...

    Will My New Model 3 Be Worth The Same As A Honda Civic In 6 Years?

    I have a couple of older Apple computers and they work great even in 2019. Two of them will even support the upcoming Catalina operating system. It will really depend on Tesla's support of older vehicles in the future. You can still drive and use an 18 year old Prius or Insight and those are...

    Will My New Model 3 Be Worth The Same As A Honda Civic In 6 Years?

    They are FWD and people don’t mind driving them in the winter especially since they are a lower price point. The Civic and Corolla aren’t really the right car to compare with a Model 3. The entry model Acura IILX doesn’t retain it’s value as well and it’s basically a luxury version of the Civic...

    Will My New Model 3 Be Worth The Same As A Honda Civic In 6 Years?

    I disagree my opinion is the AWD models will be the strongest. I predict they will depreciate along the same scale as Subaru WRX. The American buyers like vehicles that can be used all year long and many parts of the country have harsh winters and people want AWD. I think the SR and SR+ models...

    Buy it! That is a great deal. Besides the federal credit don't you get a Colorado rebate also?

    Has this major navigation issue happened to you?

    The navigation loose's the ability to reroute since its monitoring traffic conditions. Generally if I have issues that look odd I cancel the route and then restart it. Also check the reroute setting with saving time on a faster route.

    It’s financially insane to not buy a Tesla Model 3

    The BMW does include 3 years 36k of maintenance when its new and if you lease that changes things quite a bit. Generally people do leases on BMW and Mercedes which doesn't include maintenance. The price difference and savings between BMW M3 and the Tesla M3P is even greater. The Tesla M3P...

    Where to get wheel alignment in Southern California for Model 3

    I would check and see if you damaged/bent your wheel before doing an alignment.

    Supercharger - Menifee, CA (LIVE 30 Sep 2019, 20 V2 stalls)

    That will be a good spot for a new location. Lake Elsinore is still my preferred spot since it always has spots available. We rarely supercharge since we switched over to the M3P from a MS.

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    I agree use the calculator and since you want to stagger the size of the tires that will also change the look.

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    I don't think a 18x8 with a 40 offset will look good without a spacer since it will be really tucked in compared to the rear. Do they offer 19x8.5 with a 30mm offset?

    Model S Vs Model 3 Interior Space

    I previously had a 2013 S P85+. The front interior area in my opinion is so much better with having door pockets, better drink holders and a better center console. The rear seating area is smaller but not bad. A lot would depend on the legroom needed for the third adult. I assume you have the...

    Pair Continental Procontact 235/40/19 Tires Southern California

    One pair of Continental Procontact All-Season tires. The tires have even treadwear with around 6/32's left. These are similar to the tires included with the factory M3 19 inch wheels however they have a lower V speed rating (149MPH) and don't include the sound-absorbing foam. $140.00 picked up...

    Buy cash before July 1st to get tax credit, then take out reverse auto loan

    Secured personal loan would be a much higher rate. The best loan rate would be to do a cash out auto loan. Some banks or credit unions offer it if you have good credit and the percentage should only be slightly higher then a new car rate.

    Thanks for the response. These seem like a great deal compared to the 4S for 1/3 the price!

    Buy cash before July 1st to get tax credit, then take out reverse auto loan

    Depending on your credit and the bank you will most likely pay a little extra for a cash out refinance but I still think the extra $1875.00 would be worth it. They will also finance it as a used vehicle instead of new since technically it would be used when they do the loan. The main risk is...

    M3P 20" Wheels and Tires - Southern California

    Complete set of 20" Model 3 Performance Wheels and Tires. These don't include TPMS and have around 2,900 miles on them. The wheels are in great shape. The tires have great tread but little wear on the side of the front pair. I am located in the Temecula/Murrieta area. $2000.00 picked up

    Break-in on Sentry

    Back in the late 80's aftermarket alarms had a proximity sensor that did something similar. It seems like could be added if the vehicle had an external speaker.

    Thinking of buying a used model S. No battery warranty worries

    I would try to find a 2013 that was delivered in 2014. The warranty on the battery and motor will be good till 2022. You're going to have estimate some sort of depreciation for the year. After owning a 2013 P85+ I wouldn't buy another one unless it had parking sensors which started in Aug 2013...

    Do you think a driver of the Model 3 or other Tesla could of survive this?

    I don't think anyone with a Tesla or another passenger vehicle would've of survived this terrible crash. I'm sad for the driver and family plus the other drivers that were injured or involved in this crash. This happened close to my house and we travel on that stretch of freeway frequently.

    Ride The Lightning: Elon Musk Interview

    Excellent interview! I really enjoyed him talking about designing and engineering the Model S. I really believe it's quite difficult to build a great looking sedan that has functionality. Many of the other manufactures have failed at building a great looking functional sedan.
